Ciao a tutti!
Today being the last day of summer I want to take a look at the highlights of this summer and relive the best moment of summer 2018.
1. Our holiday in Italy. Lots and lots of gelato, fun day trips and many train journeys... Julius and I sure had some fun.
We travelled by train a lot in Italy and quickly realised that Italian timetables are just rough guidelines. The train we're on in picture above was already 30 minutes late when we left
Verona and a hour late by the time we got to
Milan.

2. Our
picnics,
forest and
city excursions in Helsinki. We went to the beach, we cycled to Teurastamo to eat gelato (because we hadn't had enough in Italy), and Julius and I went berry picking where the little imp ran away and hid from me. Sweet memories.
For some reason there was a sheep on the wall in the ice-cream shop. Of course Jevgeni had to go and talk to her but she only spoke Italian.

| Mmm gelato.... |
 |
| Mmm blueberries... |
3. Our exciting trip to the
countryside in Russian Carelia to say hallo to grandmother, Tim the Dog and some feline acquaintances. We ate so many berries and peas and drank so much tea, we went the
sauna, we teased the locals and Julius was hunted by giant mosquito.

| Do you know what these are? If not, come to Finland, I'll show you. |

| I just told a joke but Tim wasn't amused. |

Goodbye summer 2018 and thanks for all the memories!
